Customer Reviews of One Night Only - Rod Stewart Live at Royal Albert Hall

Absolutely Great Concert
This Rod Stewart concert at Royal Albert Hall has to be one of his best performances I've seen. There were no aspects of the show that I did not totally enjoy. You felt like you were sitting up front in the audience!

What A Fabulous Concert!
Rod Stewart's "One Night Only: Live At The Royal Albert Hall" is one fabulous and remarkable concert. Imagine a venue that caters to famous and legendary singers, one of them was an icon of a singer Frank Sinatra. This stunning concert is a showcase of Rod Stewart's big hits as ROD THE MOD, and his bestselling Great American Songbook series as ROD THE FAB (the title I coined - short for fabulous interpreter of the Great American Songbook). He describes his GAS: Volume I as "an album that calms you down." He added that recording it was a great challenge and he was so thrilled with the outcome. According to him, "it's so impossible for him to run out of these songs from the Great American Songbook." He further states that he "could probably make six albums of these songs quite easily." He already made four volumes, which are all bestsellers. I only hope that there would be an upcoming Volume V. It's a common knowledge that he truly enjoyed this experience so much and understands how much it means to him and to his fans as well. And he also wants it to always remain something special. The Songbook albums have meant a great deal to him and thinks that singing these songs has made him a better singer one can only hope. <

>I must admit that I only became a fan of Rod the Fab when he recorded the standards from the Great American Songbook, though there were occasional hits he sung that really appeal to me like "Reason To Believe," "I Don't Want To Talk About It" and "You're In My Heart." I've watched one of his earliest television interviews with Katie Couric while promoting his GAS series. Ms. Couric asked him why he "doesn't look his age." I guess he was sixty then, and he declared that some of his "secrets of looking young are . . . lots of music, wine and soccer." <

>His performances are in every way sparkling and dazzling as the brightest evening star, and so electrifying as lightning! He has the backing of a large orchestra and well-rehearsed musicians to make this concert the greatest gig of the year! He shares some interesting anecdotes, one of which is about his first guitar. His Dad gave him a guitar for no apparent reason and told him: "Why don't you take this up, there's money in this." And the rest, of course, is history. <

>While I'm thoroughly delighted with the concert in its entirety, my favorite parts are all his performances on the Great American Songbook. On these presentations, the London-born singer looking so dapper in his pinstriped outfit brings new life to these chestnuts with his excellent showmanship and his fabulous stage presence. <

>My highlights: <
>"They Can't Take That Away From Me" - beautiful sax solo by Katja. <
>"Blue Moon" - the guitar solo is absolutely breathtaking! <
>"As Time Goes By" - an amazing duet with Chrissie Hynde with exquisite solos on violin by Janet and sax by Katja. <
>"For Sentimental Reasons" - a lovely performance. <
>"Reason To Believe" - one of the most notable performances. <
>"I Don't Want To Talk About It" - a duet with Amy Belle who has a very expressive voice. <
> <
>There's no doubt that Rod Stewart is such a total performer and he could command your undivided attention whether you're listening to his CDs or watching his DVDs such as this one. <
